:[[Ancient Rome]] was a state whose history was often closely entwined with its military history over the roughly thirteen centuries that the Roman state existed. The core of the military campaigns of ancient Rome is the account of the Roman military's land battles, from the conquest of [[Italy]] to its fights against the [[Huns]] and invading [[Germanic peoples]]. Naval battles were largely less important, although there are notable exceptions during, for instance, the [[First Punic War]] and others. |

From [[Gaius Marius]] and [[Sulla]] onwards, control of the army began to be tied in to the political ambitions of individuals, leading to the political triumvirate of the first century BC and its military resolution. The late Republic and Empire were increasingly plagued by usurpations led or supported by military conspiracies, leading to the [[crisis of the third century]] in the late empire and eventual collapse. |
